Expenses and travel allowance while away for work - one for the accountants

[Rob G.]

... and a big bender, surely any recipet from coles/woolworths, and slabs of beer from the bottle shop should be claimable

s.32-5 ITAA97.

Incidentally ...

This whole thread generally is proceeding by misreading the travel allowance provision.

It does not guarantee a minimum deduction.

Cheers,

Rob

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is it normal that the per diem money is tax withheld?

Say company pays for $50/day per diem, and 30% of that is withheld as tax? If so, would you need receipts to claim the 30% money back?
